How to assign a single object to a list? - xamarin

Question

I'm working with an API rest and it returns me two types of json, object and array.
Object(When there is only one record in the database):
{ "complain": { "id": "1" , "description": "hello", "date": "2017-01-24 11:46:22", "Lat": "20.5204446", "Long": "-100.8249097" } }
Array(When there is more than one record in the database):
{ "complain": [ { "id": "1" , "description": "hello", "date": "2017-01-24 11:46:22", "Lat": "20.587446", "Long": "-100.8246490" }, { "id": "2" , "description": "hello 2", "date": "2017-01-24 11:50:12", "Lat": "20.529876", "Long": "-100.8249097" } ] }
The code I use to consume the json is as follows:
content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var token = JToken.Parse(content);
if (token["complain"] is JArray)
{
var jsonArray = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootArray>(content);
}
else if (token["complain"] is JObject)
{
var jsonObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(content);
}
When it comes to a json array if I can add it to a listview:
myList.ItemsSource = jsonArray.listArray;
But if it is an object I can not and I get the following error:
Cannot implicitly convert type Object to IEnumerable.

Answer 1

Finally I was able to solve my error, it was just a matter of creating a list and adding the deserialized json object.
var jsonObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(content);
List<Complain> simpleList = new List<Complain>();
simpleList.Add(jsonObject.ComplainObject);
myList.ItemsSource = simpleList;
The class to deserialize the Json object:
public class RootObject
{
[JsonProperty("complain")]
public Complain ComplainObject { get; set; }
}
